About:

release date: 08.30.2002

This album will always be very near and dear to my heart. While it isn’t perfect, it did mark a significant change in our sound that would slowly evolve into the band that everyone is familiar with today. It was the first time our sax player, Bill, stepped up to do much of the lead vocals and showcased our new found love of hardcore and punk that was being fostered during our high school years. The album was never officially pressed, but we have burned several thousand copies of them over the years, many with different color photocopied inserts. On this recording our trombone player had disappeared to Brazil so Chris from Infamous Jake stepped it up and played on all the songs and added his own flair by playing the X-Men theme song for the solo in Purgatory Chasm. Re-listening to this album brings back many fond memories of being young and inexperienced and trying to make our mark on the local scene, i hope you enjoy it.
